Words cannot express how horrible and trapped I feel right now. Apparently a suicide attempt from 20 YEARS AGO IN AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STATE has put me in some kind criminal database that is going to prevent me from buying a gun. I thought Texas gun laws were supposed to be insanely lax. I'm going to have to hang or poison myself and I really fucking didn't want to do that. I want to cry but I can't even, I feel so fucking powerless. I want to scream "Fuck you god!" but I did that two weeks ago and five minutes later got an email from my health insurance saying coverage was denied and that I owed $6000. I don't really believe in god but I feel like some unseen force is torturing me.

@Suspect_Device I'm sorry, I have to say I agree though-blame the evil scum who take out other people with them. There is no way to know what a suicidal person might do-99% only want to end our own pain but unfortunately there are those rare few that are full of anger at others and want to harm them. They have to be so careful. I feel your pain though, can't even get a gun here anyway.
Ever since the Uvalde mass shooting, Texas has tightened gun controls especially with gun stores. You might be able to still purchase one from gun shows or private trade from Craigslist.
Could also drive up to Oklahoma or Arkansas too.

After doing some reading, I found that I probably could have bought one three months ago prior to this latest wave of dipshit mass shooters that we've had.
this sounds like such an incredibly frustrating situation. i hope you can find some sort of solution that brings you relief.
@Suspect_Device yeh I'm not surprised-the gun laws were very lax before from what I can gather from this side of the pond. It can only be a good thing imo to tighten them but I do feel for you when you just want to end your own pain.

ArmsList might be worth checking out. It's a online private sale site you can meet up with people and they usually only require an ID and bill of sale. If you're buying a pistol however some people wanna see a CCW but not all of them.

It is understandable as to why you would be upset. No one should have to feel as though they are trapped in this world. Life is just so unfair, and we have already suffered enough in life so we should not have to suffer in trying to find ways to exit. I'm sorry that you have to go through this.

You should be able to obtain a gun at a gun show since vendors there aren't required to do background checks. I'm not a US resident though so I might be in the wrong, but you might want to research that option.
Yeah it looks like that loophole is still open. I've got some ideas of where I'll try. What a pain in the ass though, Texas is huge and people in my life are going to be questioning why I've disappeared for days when I'm travelling.
EDIT: Hopefully my car will break down and I can just die in horrible heat this summer.

You can always go to a gun show and buy from a non-licensed seller (non-FFL). I would think in Texas there ought to be a gun show about every doggone day somewhere.
